I use the HD chrome filter. No complaints.

I bet if West Coast Choppers made an oil filter, I'd be able to do a wheelie in every gear!

Just riding in a WCC T-shirt, I've nearly flipped my bike over twice! I'd suggest following what these other guys have stated and just get an OEM filter, unless you are some sort of stunt rider.

PS- I'm funnier than you.

HD filter and Mobil 1 20-50 V-Twin. I won't even use Fram on my lawn tractor, they're low cost for a reason!

Hmmm, wonder what micron it is? I didn't know you could get a 30 micron "long" filter in black.

They did make a 63812-90 which was an 'extra long' black filter for the EVO Dyna's, but it wasn't one of the low restriction "90T" 30 micron filters.

From what I can find Harley didn't make a black version of the 'extra long' low restriction "90T" filter.
